Not sure what a mulitple choice qustion is but if it is anything like a multiple choice question, it is 1/5 or 20%.
I strongly advise you to get a dictionary, learn to spell or use a spell checker.

A multiple choice question has has 5 choices What is the probability of guessing it correctly?
There is 1 right answer out of 5 possible answers, so the probability of guessing it correctly is 1/5 or 20% or 0.2.
A test has 2 multiple choice questions each with 5 choices what is the probability of guessing the correct answers to both questions?
You have a 4 percent chance of guessing both answers correctly assuming there is only one correct answer to each question and that you may only answer once per question.
What is the probability of getting five questions correct on a 20 question multiple choice test?
The answer depends on the number of choices available for each question.
A test has 5 multiple choice questions each with 4 choices what is the probability of guessing exactly 3 out of 5 right?
Since there are 4 choices the probability of guessing any given answer correctly is 1/4 or .25; call this a success and denote it by p The chance of guessing wrong is .75; call this a failure and denote it by q. So the chance of 3 out of 5 correct answers is 5C3xp^3q^(5-3)=10p^3q^2 5C3x(.25)^3(.75)^2 5x4x3/3x2(.15625)(.5625) 10(.12625)(.5625)=.0877891
A multiple choice question has 5 choices if you gets 2 questions what is the probability of getting both correct?
Well they are independent events so it is the probability of getting a correct answer multiplied by the probability of getting a correct answer on the second question. Short Answer: 1/5 times 1/5=1/25

If a multiple-choice question has five answer choices and you submit one wrong answer before getting the question correct how much credit will you lose for that part of the question?
question with options, you will lose of the credit for that question. Just like the similar multiple-choice penalty on most standardized tests, this rule is necessary to prevent random guessing. With five choices, your chance of getting the question wrong is 80% when guessing, and every wrong answer costs you 1/4 of a point. In this case, leave it blank with no penalty. Guessing becomes a much better gamble if you can eliminate even one obviously incorrect response. If you can narrow the choices down to three possibilities by eliminating obvious wrong answers
